The 2007 Vuelta a España, the 62nd edition of the cycle race, took place from 1 September until 23 September 2007. For the first time in a decade, the race started in the region of Galicia, at Vigo, home to Óscar Pereiro, with a flat stage. It was also an unusual Vuelta because the first summit finish came already on the fourth day of racing, with a stage ending atop the famed Lagos de Covadonga. The race was won by Denis Menchov, who also won the Mountains competition and the combined classification, and finished second in the points competition.

Jersey wearers when same rider is leading more than one classification

  • Óscar Freire wore granate jersey on stage 2
  • Daniele Bennati wore granate jersey on stage 3
  • On stage 4, granate jersey should have been worn by Paolo Bettini, because he was 2nd in classification after Freire, who was also overall leader. However, world champion Bettini was allowed to ride in his usual rainbow jersey.
  • Leonardo Piepoli wore white jersey on stages 5–8 and stage 11
  • Vladimir Efimkin wore white jersey on stages 9–10, 12–13, 16-18
